Basically the hip hop albums I've heard thus far this year that are worth a damn. For the record, I'm not counting Gorillaz, Dessa or Broken Bells as hip hop. Also, no "needz moar Eminem, B.o.B. or Freeway" comments because those albums was weak y'all.

DoubtGin: only one I have is The Stimulus Package. beats were pretty dope but I'm not a big fan of Freeway.

Rom: 1 and 2 are pretty neck and neck for me right now, but they're completely different records so it's a tough comparison

Ross22: hmm.. it's fairly unique. If you're into indie rap I'd say you'll like it (i.e. if you like stuff such as P.O.S., Aesop Rock, El-P etc.). The best comparison is probably Plastique by Sole and the Skyrider Band.

Swag/Bully: yeah I dig it, even though he pretty much just sounds like Sage meets Aesop with El-P style imagery. He's not original in the least, but the record's definitely enjoyable.
